Our Little Blessing



Sunday was a special day, it was Marlee’s blessing day. She looked like such an angel in her pretty white dress as her daddy gave her a blessing at church. We had our Idaho family here to be part of this beautiful event. Grandma had got the dress for Sage, who looked just as angelic on her blessing day. The white blanket was made for Hayden by his great-grandma for his blessing day. It was a great day to reflect and realize just how blessed our family is.

It was a memorable day for other reasons as well. It was over 100 degrees here! HOT! With the five kids coming in and out of the house, it seems at least one door was wide open at all times. Our poor air conditioner couldn’t keep up, and by late afternoon, our house was over 80 degrees and the air had stopped. Turns out the whole thing had turned into a big block of ice and no air could get through. It was a very hot night in our house as the temperature just kept rising. Despite it being hot and sticky, Marlee decided to take the opportunity to sleep all night. I would have celebrated, but I was too hot and miserable to sleep myself, so it really didn’t do me any good. Turns out we just needed a new air filter, but the weather has cooled to mid 70’s, so who even needs air conditioning now that it’s fixed?
